ENVELOP: Sårvård efter pilonidal sinuskirurgi (ENVELOP)

21 september 2026 uppdaterad av: Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland

Excision och negativt tryck sårterapi kontra excision och lämna öppen med standard sårvård för hantering av kronisk pilonidal sinussjukdom - en randomiserad kontrollerad studie

This is a single-blinded, multicentre, prospective randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing post-operative and patient-reported outcomes for patients undergoing application of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) after sinus tract excision as compared to excision and standard open wound care in chronic pilonidal sinus disease (PSD).

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the skin and subcutaneous tissues arising from hair follicles in the natal cleft. The definitive aetiology of the condition is unknown, however, it is theorised that it is the result of either the obstruction and subsequent inflammation of hair follicles or secondary to hair penetrating through the skin into the subcutaneous tissue. This results in infection, abscess formation, chronic discharge and pain. PSD is a common condition affecting 26 per 10,000 population, with the prevalence reaching 1.1% in young adult males.

PSD causes a significant burden on healthcare services due to high rates of recurrence and readmission following surgery, together with negative impacts on patients' quality of life and self-image. An effective management strategy for the disease is necessary to ensure that post-operative outcomes are optimised and patient-reported outcomes are satisfactory in those whose PSD requires surgery.

The objective of this multicentre, national RCT is to prospectively investigate the effect of negative pressure wound therapy compared to leaving open with standard wound care on time to wound healing following surgical excision of chronic PSD.

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy

The wound is dressed using negative pressure wound therapy.

Following elective excision of chronic pilonidal sinus disease with the wound left open, NPWT is applied in theatre using a polyurethane foam-based system (e.g. VAC, Renasys-GO, Prevena or equivalent) cut to fit the wound cavity, sealed with an adhesive drape and connected to a portable pump at -125 mmHg continuous pressure. Dressings are changed every 48-72 hours in clinic until granulation reaches skin level, followed by standard dressings until epithelialisation.

Aktiv komparator: Standard wound care (SWC)

Following excision, the wound is left open (no primary closure) and managed with standard dressings according to local protocol, with wound healing by secondary intention.

Standard wound care

Cost-effectiveness
Tidsram: 6 months post surgery

Within-trial cost-utility analysis from health-system and patient perspectives, expressed as incremental cost per QALY gained (QALYs from EQ-5D-5L, area under the curve). Resource use includes hospital and community contacts, dressing changes, complications, readmissions and returns to theatre, valued at Irish unit costs; patient costs and productivity losses via CoPaQ.

Health-related quality of life with the EuroQol-5 dimensions five level index questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L)
Tidsram: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months & 6 months

The questionnaire covers five dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems (1), slight problems (2), moderate problems (3), severe problems (4) and extreme problems (5). The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. Index values derived using the EQ-5D-5L value set specified in the Statistical Analysis Plan (Irish value set where available).

Baseline, 1 month, 3 months & 6 months
Scar assessment - using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)
Tidsram: 28 days, 3 months, 6 months

The POSAS is made up of two scales: the patient and observer scales each comprise six items scored 1 to 10; each scale is summed (6 = normal, 60 = worst) and reported separately.

28 days, 3 months, 6 months
Health-related out-of- Pocket Costs assessed using the Costs for Patients Questionnaire (CoPaQ)
Tidsram: 28 days, 3 months, 6 months

The CoPaQ measures patient and caregivers out-of-pocket expenses (direct and indirect) associated with a health condition
